Summary

I help to grow one of the most exciting ad agencies in London right now, Fold7. If you'd like to know what makes us so interesting, come into the fold for a chat.

Over the last few years, I've brought in new business for agencies of all shapes and sizes, written novels, hosted a podcast, taught non-religious meditation, given talks on consciousness studies and the neuroscience of creativity, organised a conference with scientists and magicians, and brewed almost 900 gallons of shark potion.
I'm the author of 'Beyond the Basin', a fast-paced thriller exploring the world of dreams, entheogens and shamanism (www.beyondthebasin.com). I recently completed Curtis Brown's 6 month course, working on my novel 'Heaven on Earth'. I've also been published in a non-fiction essay collection, 'Neurotransmissions' - (Strange Attractor Press), 2015.

Publications

Deep in the Amazon rain forest, a boy and girl meet in secret. Behind them, their communities wait divided. One a shamanic tribe deep in the forest, the other a Franciscan mission. Both children were born into the tribe, but only one has stayed.
Half-way across the world, a young journalist follows them in his dreams, waking up each morning with no recollection of what he has seen. In his waking life he feels the pull of an alien emotion, an urge to leave his own world and seek out theirs.
‘Beyond the Basin’ is a journey into the beauty and complexity of the visionary experience. Delving into the social and metaphysical implications of humanity's oldest form of spiritual practice, it seeks to unravel some of the mystery around our inner worlds
